You and I were long friends : — You are now my Enemy, — and ' I am, yours,
Seite 102 - And a Man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest ; as rivers of water in a dry place, and as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
Seite 283 - It is true, that what is settled by custom, though it be not good, yet at least it is fit.

Seite 410 - Out of the bowels of the harmless earth, Which many a good tall fellow had destroy'd So cowardly ; and, but for these vile guns, He would himself have been a soldier.
